Default Tornadoes rip through South -- 48 dead

Hello,

Saw this on Yahoo news this morning:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080206/...severe_weather

I lived in Louisville for a minute and will always have a place in my heart for the South. My thoughts and prayers go out to that region this morning. Hope nobody's families or friends were affected by this tragedy.

Darrren

it was pretty scary.. .I listened to tornado sirens go off from 4:30pm - 11pm constantly... I live in memphis, we didn't have near as much damage as the area between here and nashville however... One of our malls was damaged pretty badly and some of the city still does not have power.

Gotta hand it to soem of the lowlifes of the communities - in under two hours they looted half a million in the mall that was hit while people were trapped/injured.
Only one person was arrested- his car was loaded down so much they could barely see the driver.

Sounds like Katrina all over again, I don't get why people have to loot. If you can't afford it you probably should own it anyway.

My aunt and uncle in atkins arkansas completely lost their house, cars, animals, everything. They escaped unharmed but are very lucky to be alive. They will be fine though as everything is insured, they are staying at a relatives house.

I'm slow on the draw. I live in collierville. I heard the sirens go off and make announcements until 3am. Saw a lot of spectacular lightning strikes and discovered that one tornado was 9mi to the north of me. I almost drove out to see if I could see any, but I didn't want to get my Z damaged. I tried renting a car, but for some weird reason, everyone was closed.

Go figure.
